Objectives: The purpose of this study was to identify any influence of socioeconomic status on smoking and smoking cessation in a situation where genetic factors are controlled. Methods: The sample for this study was 2502 members of the twins and families cohort who participated in the Korean Healthy Twins Study from 2005 to 2009. Groups of brothers or sisters, including twins and fraternal twins, were compared in terms of smoking and smoking cessation behaviors according to differences in socioeconomic status and gender. Results: In a situation with complete control of genetic factors, results showed that the daily smoking amount, cumulative smoking amount, and dependence on nicotine decreased with higher-status occupations, and the rate of smoking and amount of cumulative smoking decreased with higher levels of education. Regarding smoking cessation behavior, a higher level of education was associated with a lower smoking cessation rate, and no significant gender differences were found. Conclusions: Environmental factors had a stronger influence on smoking behavior than did genetic factors. Genetic factors had greater influence on smoking cessation than did environmental factors; however, this requires verification in further studies.

Esophageal cancer is a common malignant tumor occurring in human esophageal epithelial tissue. The primary purpose of this paper was to define the effects of ${\beta}$-carotene and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin $D_3$, alone and in combination, on cell proliferation, cell cycle and apoptosis of human esophageal cancer EC9706 cells. Treatment with different concentrations of ${\beta}$-carotene and/or 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin $D_3$. MTT assay showed that ${\beta}$-carotene and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin $D_3$ significantly inhibited proliferation of EC9706 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Further studies also demonstrated that ${\beta}$-carotene alone or 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin $D_3$ alone caused a marked increase on the induction of apoptosis in EC9706 cells. The percentage of G0/G1-phase cells significantly increased on addition of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin $D_3$ alone, but there were no significant changes with ${\beta}$-carotene alone. These two agents in combination synergistically inhibited cell growth and induced apoptosis. Therefore, our results indicate that ${\beta}$-carotene and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin $D_3$ in combination may provide a novel strategy for preventing and treating esophageal cancer.

이 연구에서는 기록영화 <식코>를 활용한 교양수업이 수강생의 국민건강보험제도에 대한 인식과 태도에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 우리나라는 전 국민을 대상으로 공적 건강보험제도를 운영하고 있으나 선진국보다 상대적으로 낮은 보장성과 의료공급자의 저수가에 대한 불만, 그리고 민간의료보험 가입 확대로 인해 공보험의 역할 강화 노력에 대한 국민의 지지를 당연하게 기대하기 어려워 보인다. 국민건강보험제도는 전 국민의 의료서비스에 대한 접근성 강화 뿐 아니라 보험료에 따른 급여서비스 차별이 없어 민간보험에 비해 저소득층에 대한 의료보장에 있어 중요한 기능을 한다. 노인인구가 급격하게 증가하고 건강에 대한 국민적 관심이 높은 만큼 공적 건강보험제도의 지속과 역할 강화는 중요한 사안이며, 이는 국민적 지지를 바탕으로 이루어져야 할 것이다. 이에 일개 대학의 교양과목 수강생을 대상으로 민간보험의 부정적인 측면을 지적한 <식코>의 내용을 수업 콘텐츠로 학습하고, 학습 전후의 국민건강보험에 대한 태도를 비교하였다. 실증분석 결과를 바탕으로 제도에 대한 이해를 도모하는 데에 활용할 수 있는 교육콘텐츠 개발에 대하여 논하였다.

공무원의 양성평등의식은 태도와 행동으로만 존재하는 것이 아니고 정책도구로 활용되고 있다는 점에서 중요하므로 그들이 자신의 업무를 성 인지적 관점에서 분석하고 기획할 수 있는 구체적인 실무 능력이 함양되도록 양성평등의식이 개발되어야 한다. 본 연구는 대전시 공무원(남성 699명, 여성 457명)을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여 양성평등의식 교육의 경험과 태도를 조사하였다. 그 결과는 양성평등의식 교육의 바람직한 변화를 유도하는데 활용될 수 있을 것이다. 분석결과 양성평등의식 교육에 참여하고자 하는 의지가 남성이 여성보다 낮음을 알 수 있었다. 양성평등의식 교육을 확대하기 위해서는 교육 참여의 동기부여 및 법제화와 함께 성, 연령, 직급에 따른 다양한 형태의 교육프로그램의 개발이 필요하다.

Purpose: This study was to examine the changes in knowledge, attitudes, and preventive behaviors among elementary school students after providing them with tuberculosis prevention education. Methods: A total of 235 students from D elementary school in G city were selected. After completing tuberculosis prevention education, the subjects were surveyed five times for 16 weeks. 1,087 samples were included in the final analysis. One-way ANOVA, $Scheff{\acute{e}$'s test, Pearson's correlation, and multiple regression analysis were performed to examine the changes in tuberculosis-related knowledge, attitudes and preventive behaviors over time. Results: After 16 weeks from the education, the scores of preventive behaviors did not show any significant difference compared to the time right after the education. However, the scores of knowledge and attitudes tended to improve. In particular, 1st~2nd graders had high scores in both knowledge and attitude, and the scores of knowledge and attitude gradually increased over time. The correlation between knowledge, attitude, and preventive behavior regarding tuberculosis had a positive significance during the entire time of the survey. Conclusion: Positive associations between knowledge and attitude and between attitude and preventive behavior sustained for 16 weeks after tuberculosis education among elementary school students. This study suggests that tuberculosis prevention education conducted early on from lower grades can produce more educational effects and that it could be a foundation not only for developing knowledge of tuberculosis but also for cultivating adequate attitudes and forming active tuberculosis preventive behaviors.

Purpose: This study was to identify the current issues and challenges of the nursing education program in Cambodia and to suggest recommendations to improve it. Methods: The World Health Organization Global Standards for the Initial Education of Nurses and Midwives were used as the analytic framework. Data were collected through a critical, constructive analysis of the literature, as well as observation with stakeholders in the area. Results: Cambodia experienced a shortage of nurses based on the demands of nurses. Moreover, the lack of institutional capacity, out dated and rudimentary nursing curriculum, under qualified nursing faculty, overcrowded classrooms, and lack of fundamental education materials and equipment for nursing education hampered the maintenance and improvement of the quality of pre-service nursing education in Cambodia. Conclusion: Strengthening the nursing educational resources and infrastructures, along with proper retention and enhancement of the faculty's capacity, clinical mentorship, and sustainable management of the nursing curriculum were recommended. Integrating the nursing theory and process into clinical practice and using strategic partnerships, would improve the quality and quantity of nursing education in Cambodia. There needs to be a synergistic relationship between nursing education and training relevant to the nursing care to meet the needs of the Cambodian population.
